Glacier Vista Snowshoe — Thursday, Jun. 18, 2020

Mount Rainier Area > SW - Longmire/Paradise

Dad and I snowshoed most of this trail yesterday. I definitely suggest snowshoes or skis if you have them available. Many people commented that they were jealous of our snowshoes! Snow is mashed potato consistency, so lots of sliding going on. “Trail” is super easy to keep a safe distance on since there are multiple ways to go through the snow. We saw a marmot running around and a bear hanging out on the side of the road in the snow to cool off. Lots of tourists on vacation, so maybe try for a weekday if you want a bit more isolation.
